NSW premier Dominic Perrottet has announced changes to the state’s Covid-19 restrictions which will come into effect on Monday 11 October. The new premier announced indoor swimming pools will reopen and raised caps on home visit and outdoor gatherings. Caps on weddings and funerals will be increased to 100. All NSW children will return to school by 25 October. Although the chief health officer Dr Kerry Chant was not present at the media conference, Perrottet said she has approved the changes. 'Dr Chant is one of my favourite constituents in Epping. We always had a great relationship … these changes are supported by the health team.'
